EXHIBIT H SCOPE OF WORK & SCHEDULE OF PERFORMANCE Located at 609 N. Spurgeon Street, at the northwest comer of the intersection of French Street and E. Santa Ana Boulevard, the 1.74-acre Project site was home to Santa Ana United Methodist Church, a well -established anchor in the community. The Project site is one contiguous, rectangular shaped parcel which previously had two church buildings fronting Santa Ana Boulevard and a large surface parking lot located on the northern half of the site fronting French Street. Both church buildings have been demolished. The entire site is designated Urban Neighborhood in the City of Santa Ana 1998 General Plan and zoned Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN- 2) in the Transit Zoning Code. The Proposed Project includes the development of a single residential building with 93 units surrounding an interior, landscaped courtyard. In total, the Project proposes 81,883 square feet of habitable residential building area and 29,297 square feet of open space. Developed at an overall density of 53.4 units per acre, there will be an estimated 30 1-bedroom units, 38 2-bedroom units, and 24 3-bedroom units. Seven of the 2-bedroom units and seven of the 3-bedroom units will be two story townhomes accessible from the street. The remaining 79 units will be flats/typical apartment units located on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors over ground level parking. The building has been designed with the two-story townhome units on the exterior fronting Spurgeon and French Streets and transitioning to a four-story courtyard building in the center of the site. This provides a gradual transition from any surrounding lower density uses and visually breaks up the mass of the building. A 2,576 square foot community center, 984 square foot leasing/property management office and 7,267 square feet of flexible non-residential space will be located on the ground floor facing Santa Ana Boulevard activating the street frontage and interfacing with the proposed Santa Ana Streetcar platform to be located at the corner of Santa Ana Boulevard and French Street. One vehicular entry point to the site is provided off French Street. The entry point is a 24-foot driveway providing direct access to the parking garage. Careful consideration for the character and scale of surrounding neighborhood was taken to ensure that the project architecture and massing blends in with the existing surrounding uses. The Project proposes the Main Street Modem architectural style fronting Santa Ana Boulevard and the Mission Revival architectural style fronting the other three streets to be complementary with the church and the surrounding neighborhoods. The Main Street Modem design is intended to complement the OC Streetcar and activate the street frontage. The Project includes both wall and roof plane articulation, with an entry plaza and grand staircase entry from Santa Ana Boulevard and carries the design elements to each elevation, including the inner portions of the site. The maximum building height of the Proposed Project is 52 feet for the buildings at the interior of the site. Trash enclosures are provided at the northwest comer of the parking garage with pick-up conveniently accessible from Spurgeon Street. The layout of the building creates several unique outdoor areas including both passive and active spaces — a central landscaped courtyard, tot lot, raised planters, drought -tolerant and native ground covers, breezeways and walkways for residents to access community spaces and the surrounding neighborhood. 55A-109
